HPI NATIONAL INSURANCE CREDITS MISSING FROM MY PENSION

Hi I have not received NI credits for bringing up one of my children  in 1980s and  only get a pension on the 15 years NI that I paid. I have completed a form CF411  about a month ago and heard nothing after getting a ref number. My child remained in full time education until was 18 but I didn't include on the form as it just said you can only get credits to age 16? Anyone know if I should contact them and add this to my claim form. I received HPI payments until he was 18 but should I have got Ni pension credits for this additional 2 years too?  Martins information suggests I should but other sites say only up until 16 .   Any help would be appreciated  thank you
